Every year, Pillar To Post invites its dedicated network of franchise business owners to celebrate achievements, share insights, and unveil initiatives that will shape the brand’s future. The 2025 Pillar To Post Brand Conference, held in Tucson, Arizona, was no exception. It brought together top-performing franchise business owners, introduced new marketing leadership, and showcased an innovative digital tool designed to enhance the home inspection experience.
Honoring Excellence: 2025 Franchise Business Owner Awards
A central highlight of the conference was the celebration of franchise business owners who demonstrated outstanding performance in business growth, customer service, and leadership within the Pillar To Post system. The top awardees included:
- Franchise Business Owners of the Year: Marco and Melanie Miranda of New Haven County, CT. The husband-and-wife duo achieved over $2 million in sales and led the franchise network with the highest Average Job Size (AJS).
- Rookie of the Year: Matt Ruggieri of Western Pennsylvania. A former Army infantryman, Matt had the highest total sales among first-year franchise business owners, quickly establishing a strong presence in the Pittsburgh market and surrounding counties.
“Being recognized as Rookie of the Year is an incredible honor,” said Ruggieri. “I owe my success to the guidance of those who came before me, the unwavering support from my family and the franchise system, and the dedicated team that has helped us grow in our community. This is only the beginning, and I look forward to what’s next.”
Pillar To Post also celebrated franchise business owners who reached key lifetime inspection milestones, ranging from 1,000 to an impressive 35,000 completed inspections. Additionally, Sales Achievement Awards were presented to franchise business owners who demonstrated exceptional business growth over the past year, reinforcing the company’s commitment to recognizing and supporting those who go above and beyond.
New Leadership and Strengthened Marketing Support
As Pillar To Post continues to evolve, the brand is investing in enhanced marketing strategies to support its franchise network at the local level. At the conference, franchise business owners were introduced to Becky Beyer, the new Vice President of Marketing. With extensive experience in franchise marketing, Beyer is leading the charge in implementing digital marketing strategies, new branding tools, and data-driven solutions to help franchise business owners expand their reach and impact in their respective markets.
“Our priority is ensuring our franchise owners have the best tools to grow their business and make a lasting impact in their communities,” said Beyer. “Through enhanced marketing strategies and the Executive Model, we’re opening up new avenues for them to build stronger relationships with real estate professionals and homeowners. This isn’t just about brand growth—it’s about equipping our franchise business owners with everything they need to succeed in today’s real estate landscape.”
Introducing PTPHomePage
A Game-Changer for Home Inspections Innovation is at the heart of the Pillar To Post mission, and this year’s conference introduced a groundbreaking digital tool: PTPHomePage. Designed to improve communication and streamline the home inspection process, PTPHomePage offers a centralized hub where homeowners, real estate agents, and inspectors can access inspection reports, home layouts, and instant communication features all in one convenient location.
By providing greater transparency and efficiency, PTPHomePage enhances the overall home-buying experience and further positions Pillar To Post as an industry leader. While still inits early implementation phase, the tool represents a significant step forward in digital transformation for the brand and its franchise business owners.
